Bath repair near Broughton

Bath repair in Broughton without replacing anything

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Broughton as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Broughton. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broughton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Broughton

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Broughton: your questions answered

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Broughton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Common problems we fix in Broughton

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
